Year 5 Sportshall athletics - School Games

20 Nov 2017

On Friday 17th November, 30 children from Year 5 went to Peter May Sports Centre to compete in the Sportshall Athletics. Each child competed in 2 or 3 events, ranging from soft javelin, vertical jump, chest pass, triple jump and a number of sprint relays.

The children made a fabulous noise when cheering on their teammates and every individual was determined to do their best. The atmosphere in the hall and the way in which the children represented their school, made for a fantastic afternoon, full of personal achievements.

Well done all you you! I was particularly struck by the outstanding behaviour of the Handsworth competitors. They remained focused on doing their very best and supporting their teammates the entire time. I was enormously proud of each of them.
